Original Tapatalk for iOS goes free, upgrades all users to the newer interface

The original version of Tapatalk for both iPhone and iPad is now free for all users and brings with it the completely redesigned interface that users of Tapatalk 2 already enjoy.

For existing users of the original version Taptalk that have in-app purchases and additional content, hold off if you'd like to keep it as they'll have an update to address it shortly.

When Tapatalk 2 was released a while back, the differentiating factor was the completely redesigned interface and some additional features such as themes and other abilities. This update brings Tapatalk 2 and the original version pretty close in functionality which makes us wonder if they're planning anything to really differentiate the two.

This is not a review. It's a news post. Constructive criticism is welcome, being a dick is not. We can't possibly reiterate and re-review an app each and every time they're updated. A two second google search and this was the first thing that popped up:

Sorry, maybe you are chill, I don't know, but I'l give you the benefit of the doubt :)
Agreed that Ally should not call names so easily.

About me, I thought just a one sentence blurb would be enough to inform us (without resorting to googling or clicking tags as another guy mentioned). I don't expect a long review, but literally just a sentence for a (relatively?) obscure app. I was interested when I clicked the link, but the news story was not enticing enough to me to make me research it further.

See those tags underneath a story? Yeah, use them. Clicking on "Tapatalk" will bring you to everything posted on iMore related to the app. Or, again, a simple Google search. Do you really expect them to explain what an app does EVERY SINGLE NEWS STORY? Grow up.

The hostility is to be expected. Anyone who has read this site from the beginning probably has heart palpitations now with the way things are going. The constant barrage of the same "buzz words" driving home every single post with the same frigging verbiage. It's almost like the editors and writers have lost site of what this blog used to be and have moved forward with advancing their own personal agenda. I wish there was a mute button on some of the writers on this blog, it's a shame that by the time you find a good article your blood pressure is already risen to the point where you're cussing everyone and everything.

Time of the month OR just a bitch?? I've been blasted by some of the writers on this site for A LOT less than outright calling a commenter "a dick".....doesn't help that in NO WAY was the OP "a dick" with that comment. You're a blog writer, & not a very good one at that.....so please don't think you're more important or in some sort of power position bc it's quite pathetic. That's it for me on here I guess.......

When you click on the "Free Download" option at the end of the article, you will be taken to the App Store online and see the following description of the Tapatalk app:

[Discover great internet communities or stay connected with your favourites community on-the-go with this award-winning mobile app. Tapatalk is the only mobile app combing over 50,000 internet communities with a streamlined mobile experience, allowing you to share and follow thoughts, photos, opinions to all your communities within a single mobile app.

In layman's terms, it's an app that many people use to interact in forums like the iMore Forum.
